The Dartmouth Food Festival 18-20 October 2019
D
escribed by the Guardian newspaper as
“One of the Top Ten food festivals in the UK” and with The Telegraph saying it is a ‘heady mix of celebrity chefs, parties, food markets, tasting shacks and demonstrations’, it is no surprise that the Dartmouth Food Festival is now a landmark event on the culinary calendar. The Festival was founded in 2003 and has grown every year since. Despite the many pressures that, of course, accompany such growth, the Festival’s founding principles have stood firm. The not-for- profit Festival exists to promote Dartmouth as a destination and showcase the very best food and drink experiences in the South West.
FREE ENTRY TO THE FESTIVAL Free entry into the festival for all is something we are intensely proud of and something that sets us apart from most other food festivals. Without the generous contributions from our Sponsors, Patrons and exhibitors, the Festival simply couldn’t happen. WHAT CAN WE LOOK FORWARD TO THIS YEAR? Our favourite highlights include the Chefs’ Demo Tent which, as always, will be packed to the rafters with the usual mix of established names and emerging talent in the South West, including Mark Hix, Matt Tebbutt, Romy Gill MBE, Jane Baxter and of course our Festival Advocate, Mitch Tonks. There will be plenty of opportunities to brush up on your own kitchen skills at one of the many workshops organised by Pipers Farm for their debut year. Our ever popular wine seminars will again be coordinated by Sunday Telegraph wine and drinks columnist Susy Atkins with a great line up of drinks experts including Will Lyons (The Sunday Times) and Fiona Beckett (The Guardian).
2019 also sees us welcome our first ‘Artist in Residence’, Emily Thomas to the festival. She is a young, local talent – you’ll meet her as you make your way around the festival and we’ll be sharing her work online for you all to enjoy. We are also introducing this year, our Monday Community Lunch – a new initiative to use up any surplus food from the festival and have the local community enjoy it. We are really excited about this one. And lastly, this year Eat Your Words is back with a jam-packed schedule as always! You’ll find inspiring experts, food writers and change making chefs who will open your mind to new ideas, fresh challenges and bust some myths along the way. We welcome back some friends, old and new; including Guy-Singh-Watson, the man behind Riverford, Henry Dimbleby, founder of Leon and a National food strategy lead with DEFRA will also join us alongside Chef Tom Hunt and Slow Food Board Director Shane Holland and many more – you won’t want to miss these sessions.
